I don't dislike being famous, but there have been moments when you think: 'Is this really worth it?' Sometimes you go through that stage where you're almost like selling your soul. People want all from you, absolutely everything. They want it from you. And everyone's got an opinion about you.

Agents told me that in the celebrity world, it's love life and weight gain/loss that people are interested in.

You're never going to see me drinking some protein shake and doing 20 squat thrusts. I will never follow suit.

The truth is, in day-to-day life, I'm just grinding like everyone else.

There are so many chemicals in things - that's why people are getting sick.

I think at some point I need an OBE from the Queen as I've entertained the nation during Corona.

You get the wig on, you put the lipstick on, you get the big eyelashes on and that's the GC. It's like Paul O'Grady when he does Lily Savage... But when I'm not working, I don't wear a scrap of makeup.

I think why I am such a success in regards to my shows, is I don't give you an impression that my world's all rose tinted glasses, candy floss, sequins and glitter.

I had to grow a very thick skin very fast. I think that's where the GC came about.

My intuition always guides me to the right place.

There's nothing better than cornflakes with hot milk. It's my Sunday treat.

My dream show is to have this haunted house and get some celebrities in there and then I can do their Tarot cards and speak to the dead with them.

I do like exercising. It makes you feel good and gets the endorphins going. So I decided to do low impact exercise and exercise I enjoy.

I would love to have a child. It would be great for me and such a positive message for all the girls out there who don't want to rush their life or their life has taken different a direction, like me who's put their career first.

I've been in gyms before and people have recorded me on their mobile phones and uploaded it on Facebook and said: 'Look at this fat pig,' which has been really traumatic for me to see.

When I first became known in public I was sent off to bootcamps. I was thrown into all this madness of weight loss and weight gain.

My parents were very strapped for cash when we were growing up.

I had a happy childhood, I didn't know about money then.

We did not have a toaster growing up. I never knew what a toaster was, it was only as I got older, we got a toaster.

I try not to bring any attention to myself.

I'm here for a reason and I think it's to reach out to people - whether that's to give people a little bit of confidence if they're having a terrible day, or to give them advice, or just to make them laugh.

Just think Beyonce on ice, honey. That's me.

I probably felt more beautiful before I went on TV. 'Cos I get so much criticism now.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with a bit of glam, but do you know what? I'm not bothered about getting a reservation in the latest restaurant.

After six years of doing it, the weird thing on 'Towie' is that we can't explain to people that we're famous. We're doing a show where we have to act like normal people.

I hate heights and I hate every single creepy crawly going.

I've only got to see an animal on TV and I start screaming. I don't like the feeling of claustrophobia either.

I love the fact that TV enables me to help other women.

I absolutely love 'TOWIE.'

I'm not a presenter - I'm a star.

There was something in my brain when it came to exercising - my stomach would churn, my heart would go and beat funny. I'd be like: 'I just don't want to do this.'

When I go to the shopping centre, I'm not the GC. I'm just there with my mum.

I don't stumble at any hurdle.

I personally need my own tunnels.

Ever since I was a little girl I've had this affinity to connect with spirits and talk to them.

I have endured pain and suffering in my life, things haven't always been easy, I have suffered. And now I can help people in their lives.

I think I'm a witch because I'm very connected to nature.

Food became my coping mechanism and I've never been able to break that cycle.

I love directing as I've got such a fantastic, a creative mind.

I walk around like I'm a billionaire, I believe in the universe, I never worry about money and that's why money comes to me.

I treat people throughout the year, my mates with children, every time I see them I give them 40 quid, or I go to Amazon and get them a gift- no one goes without.

When I'm ready, I'll have a baby - and I will love that.

I've been having singing lessons whenever I can fit them in.

I have a half an hour window that if I don't go to sleep in that time frame I am up all night.

I've heard Simon Cowell is awake all through the night... To be honest that is when I get all my work done.

I've not forgotten where I came from but I've grown and I've evolved and that is the secret to being a reality star.

I'm not one of these average reality people that are permanently doing Instagram posts, I break the mould, I break the Internet.

I constantly know that showbiz is going to be short-lived, you have to grab every opportunity as well as you can.

I am Gemma Collins. I don't have to answer to anyone about my fashion choices.

There's criticism, and there's calling someone a fridge.
